Chilly Morning

I really felt the wind whipping through me this morning as I started off on my trek downtown. I didn't warm up as much as I got used to it.

On the bus ride out to work this morning, I ran into Larry. He got on the bus at the Mirabeau Park & Ride. He is a semi-regular customer at Scotty's Bar & Grill, where I tend bar on Saturdays. He has a P.O. Box out at the Liberty Lake Post Office. I think he used to live out at Liberty Lake. That's the only reason I can think that he would maintain a P.O. Box so far from where he lives.

Anyway, we chatted during the ride out, talking about my riding the bike and his getting mail and walking around. Nothing of any consequence.

I am continually noticing an increase in my stamina as I ride, especially on hills. I went on a little ride last night and climbed a considerable hill. As I stopped and rested about half way up, I watched as this Hippie guy rode right on past me...flip-flops, no helmet, just cruisin' up da hill.
Bastard!

I'm going to try that hill again tonight and try to do better.
